Yeah, that’s the thing is that even characters that so far gone are characters that sometimes are rooted for the most. They want something, they have a reason for it, and in following them, it makes you like them. This can be the case even when you see nothing redeemable about them.

@jonas @princesachronicle22

Yeah, I think it’s important to remember that it’s never bad for a villain to be non sympathetic, it’s just all in the execution. Azula from Avatar the Last Airbender isn’t really sympathetic in the whole series, but she’s probably the most fascinating and terrifying villain I can think of. Her father, Ozai, is also a…[Read more]

@stephie

Fair enough, lol!

Would you say that you adhere to the doctrine of infallible scripture and/or sola scriptura then?

I hope that wasn’t too much😅

@stephie

What I was trying to get at is that God was the first one to use the word “good.” That means that He invented the word. However, it’s debatable whether God invented the concept of good. It would certainly make sense if He were the origin and the source of all goodness, but I would have to really do research in order to fully back that.…

We know God created the word Good, but maybe not its meaning, because He used it before anybody else existed.

So I’m not sure what exactly your getting at here. Are you asking if Good as a concept existed prior to God’s first use of it in Genesis? If so, I’d say yes.

Since the bible says that the requirements of the law are written in our hearts,…

Oof, I’ll repost

You know your a writer when someone sneezes, and you naturally start to contemplate the implications of a world in which the mechanics of sneezing is a magic system.

@jonas

Do you mean Long Chills and Case Dough? Or something else?

@theducktator

I will probably read The Sunlit Man first, since that one is available at my library. I had Yumi, but alas, it was returned before I read it. ☹️

Ah, that makes sense. I’ll be reading Sunlit soon. I heard you need a lot of background for it though, but it’s mostly Stormlight stuff, so you should be ok.

I didn’t know there were two. I…

I’ve read Skyward, Tress of the Emerald Sea, A Frugal Wizard’s Guide to Surviving Medieval England, and all of the Stormlight Archive except Dawnshard, which I think I have from the library, but is missing. Alas.

Awesome! I’ve read all of those except Stormlight 4, which I’m in the middle of. Are you about to read Yumi then, sin…[Read more]

@theducktator

Thanks! A few tips would be nice, but I’m mostly focusing on my other WIPs right now.

Alright:)

Oh yes. Especially at the end when Alcatraz and Bastille were arguing over who broke the balcony. And I’m so glad Grandpa Smedry is still arriving late for his death. I love him.

Yep, Grandpa Smedry is the best! So you’ve read Alc…[Read more]

Hi! I generally lean more towards soft worldbuilding, though I am trying to create a world with harder worldbuilding. (I haven’t actually come up with any good ideas yet though.) My duck world has a very soft magic system, in which pretty much every weird magic idea I’ve had exists. Including a singing pineapple.

Cool! A singing pin…[Read more]

@theducktator

Greetings your Duckiness!

I’m the Arcane Axiom. I love math, searching for divine fundamental truth, and exploring that in my writing. I read/write sci-fi/fantasy, and I’m currently working on a universe with my sister called the Sceptrum.

Questions!

Do you lean towards hard or soft worldbuilding? (I heard your into Sanderson, so…[Read more]

@keilah-h @princesachronicle22

For sure! I need more connections so I can get more spatial awareness of what’s going on anyways

Also, I like the knife idea!

@highscribeofaetherium

Fair enough lol! It will be interesting to have the literal deified personification of chaos wandering around what may as well be a playground for him. He’ll have fun turning your villain into a toy by the description you gave, and others such as Synian for sure. *Evil laughter

@highscribeofaetherium

Hmmm, idk I just introduced Chaos before I saw you posted this. The thing is that Chaos might try infiltrating, but Umen and Synian will both recognize him. He will be by definition unreliable with completing any goals. If he has been intentionally summoned, he won’t really serve the villains very well. He’ll just make it…[Read more]

So, from my understanding, mass and inertia are basically the same thing (mass could even be considered the measure of inertia), except in one instance. The force with which gravity pulls on something is directly proportional to its mass, but greater inertia would slow down your acceleration. Since mass and inertia are always the same i…
